Best Dog Beds

Other than your love and food to eat, there’s little in life that matters as much to a dog as where to hang her weary head. Given a comfy bed, some will prefer it to any other sleeping spot in the house, even your bed.

Is she incontinent or too arthritic to climb into a high bed? Is she allergic to dust mites?
